  solonoid about 50 miles ago, but I'm not sure if a fault with that could cause these symptoms. More likely, I had not long filled up with a full tank of diesel (I definitely put the right fuel in!) before the problem started. Would contanimated fuel cause these problems? How would I check it? If so
